Somehow........ishan language is quite different from benin about 40% similar....though,isoko language is 80% similar to urhobo ...just as urhobo is 60% of combination of benin,ishan and afemai languages of edo

but are you tryng to tell me that urhobo wont understand isoko if they speak or wont ishan understand benin if they speak.


i want to know

will an urhob or isok man need an interpreter when they meet


same with benin or ishan




i know that in igbo even if you are cross rver, akwa ibom, edo igbo or anambra igbo, you wont need an interpreter to communicate with each other, there might be a bit difficulties but you will understand


so pls brother explain this for me, i want tyo know why the fragmentation of clans there in name of tribe


TO ME ISOKO AND URHOBO SHOULD JUST BE SOBO TRIBE. I DONT SEE MUCH DIFFERENCE

WHAT DO YOU THINK

martineverest:
Isoko and urhobo are closer and related dan ishan and benin.

can u allow a visitor to call your land a no man's land?

if U check its always the non urhobos who always say Isokos are not Urhobo.its like saying Okpes are not Urhobos or Ijevwe are nkt urhobos When we all Bear same names.

Read my comment and u ll get what i meant....urho and isoko re 80% similar and dont need an intertreper......ishan and benin need to some xtent....am ishan and i schooled in uniben....i only understand little benin and urobo when my frends speak..tho,benin is a bit closer to ishan.but urobo has more direct ishan element in it.

Sophyrocks:


And that is what annoys me about your people. You guys dnt sit down to learn the different tribes of 9ja. Anyone who isnt hausa or yoruba to you, you call the person igbo. Abeg learn from this thread o. Address people by their appropraite tribes.

This only applies for ignorant people living in a bush it's nt a General thing

WHAT DO YOU THINK

Exactly, The similarities and cultural assimilation between Isoko and Urhobo are too high for them to be considered different ethnic groups..Infact both groups are distant members of Edo ethnicity
It's jst Nigerian politics messing with Southern Nigerians

what are the differences....pls tell us

literarymathy, you have your story all stolen from my people the itsekiri. i'm itsekiri from koko and firstly, warri is not indigenously your town. the name "warri" is a corrupted form of a word in itsekiri "IWERE", meaning it's the way it is, translated literarily. you called other towns like sapele and a couple others and claim them for the urhobos, but incidentally, history tells us that sapele is an itsekiri town which was a hub for economic activity with the early itsekiri traders who traded with the west and who employed urhobo workers as slaves. and sapele was given up as a bargaining chip by Nanna Olomu to make peace with a warlord because of a breach in terms of agreement for a certain battle price. the soup which you made mention of "owo" is an itsekiri soup and owo is actually a borrowed word from us mister... i can pick out a myriad of false claims which i won't acquiesce to. warri is the ancestral home of the itsekiri people and we only conceded territory to your people because you have a healthy population there due to your high rate of proliferation, and your persistent clamouring for a stake in the city. well, i can understand where you are coming from because the urhobos and ijaw people have been slaves to us for too long and are out against us trying to carry out a vendetta, but it's not really the answer to anything. and you didn't mention the native attire which i saw in your pictures showing you wearing our "kemeje", would you say that that is indigenously yours too? and to stake more leverage on what i've said so far, we are a singular tribe without mixed dialects, probably the only tribe in nigeria which speak a singular dialect and who have just one singular king and not multiple kings. we have chiefs who report to our king, the Olu of Warri. so there are a lot of flaws and false claims about your heritage which i vehemently dispute. also, we have had a long running history with the benin people and our monarchs are intertwined with each other and we've both been the main custodians of the southern region of nigeria from the days when our history was been written. it's really not fair making erroneous remarks and statements because people who don't know the truth would be misled and made to think that this you've put up there is the case, whereas it's not. so please kindly do yourself a favour and get to know your history and people and don't get it mixed up.

I won't acquiesce to your ethnic bigotry and racism. I won't even waste my intellectual prowess arguing with you on what is true or not. Our readers have books and the Internet at their disposal to find the truth. You are just a true representation of a typical Itsekiri man. As for the Warri and Sapele issue, it has caused wars, invectives and hatred over the decades, I refuse to be a part of it. Delta State belongs to all of us. There's no competition. Thank you for your insults to my person and my tribe. I refuse to answer as would any urhobo man. That is why we will always be a step ahead in the face of God.

All these talk about slaves...where's the record?
And every tribe speaks one dialect, that's what makes them a tribe.
So it's nt peculiar to Itsekiri
